Wow, ok, i really had a lot to read in this thread.

I really want to repeat what i said in the header above. With so many people here it is common for someone to find offense now and then when touchy subjects come up. I am sure i have posted a few unfavorable posts and responses in the past.

I really find your history amazing and appreciate how you chose to share it with us.

As for your personnal views on how you see yourself, i am proud to say i am intersexed, true hermaphrodite, transsexual, Male phenotype transitioning Female. I tend to think that although i am transitioning female, i am really a hermaphrodite. As to what id like on my birthcertificate and drivers license, i would prefer an H or maybe an I.

That is just my preference, i believe each of us has the right to have what we believe ourselves to be. Perhaps i think of having an i.d. that reflects how i feel and think of myself is what is best for me.

I am open publicly as an intersexed transsexual. I would suppose there is some conflict there when it comes to things like passing as a woman, Its kinda years off, or if ever, as a thought in my opinion. I hope i'll look a lot better in a few years then i do now, as so far, very little has changed within the last 14 months of HRT.

As to your questions and thoughts, please keep them comming. I find it very reassuring to know there is another who doesnt fit stereotypes of what being IS means. i believe there is way too much variation in gender to make clear to everyone in society what someone is, all i will say is there is alot more then Male or Female. And i would really love all Governments, religous organizations and the general public to acknowledge that we exist. For the future i have a great deal of hope, that the world will accept those of us who don't fit the specific genders of Male or Female.

A question is only a question if someone thinks about what is being asked. So ask away, so others like me can think about these things too.

oh, and i really did enjoy thinking about your post.
